encrypt and decrypt buckets
I have a bucket where I switched from encryption to not encrypting files. I later realized that files already uploaded earlier stay encrypted. Now I have a bucket where half of the files are encrypted, half are not. Is there a migration script where I can either encrypt or decrypt all files in a bucket? Or can I decrypt the files myself and override the encrypted once?
TL;DR
To decrypt the files in your bucket:
1) Download the encrypted files through Appwrite.
2) Re-upload the files into the same bucket with encryption disabled.
3) Verify the files are as desired, then delete the old encrypted files. There's no migration script available to automatically encrypt or decrypt files in a bucket.
As per what I know, there's neither any tool present to encrypt/decrypt the existing files nor it is possible to do the same manually. You can perform following steps to decrypt those files:
- Download the encrypted file through Appwrite.
- Re-upload the downloaded content into same bucket (this time encryption disabled).
- After verifying everything works well and all files are as you've desired, delete the old encrypted files.
